Answer 1

In a hydraulic brake system, the force exerted on the pedal cylinder is transmitted to the wheel cylinders through a hydraulic fluid.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a hydraulic brake system, the force exerted on the pedal cylinder is transmitted to the wheel cylinders through a hydraulic fluid.

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure created in the pedal cylinder is equal to the pressure transmitted to the wheel cylinders. Therefore, the force created at each wheel cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

Force at wheel cylinder = Pressure x Area of wheel cylinder

Given that the pedal cylinder has a diameter of 0.500 cm and each wheel cylinder has a diameter of 2.50 cm, we can calculate the force at each wheel cylinder by:

1. Calculating the area of the pedal cylinder using the formula: Area = pi x (radius)^2
2. Calculating the pressure in the pedal cylinder using the formula: Pressure = Force / Area of pedal cylinder
3. Calculating the force at each wheel cylinder using the formula: Force at wheel cylinder = Pressure x Area of wheel cylinder

By plugging in the given values and performing the calculations, we can determine the force F2 created at each of the wheel cylinders.
